Dominant Sloppyszlai's Isak (FPLMundo remixed works by Rolandhino1, CC4)
SLOPPYSZLAIS STARS DELETE THE EVIDENCE
Supporters of Dominant Sloppyszlai spent last night refreshing Instagram, after Alexander Isak and João Pedro Junqueira de Jesus quietly removed pictures of themselves in club colours. Mani Singh's side sit fortieth after three gameweeks. "When the players start taking pictures down, they're telling you something," said Chris Sutton. "You don't do that if you're happy." This gameweek will tell us if anyone at Dominant Sloppyszlai still wants to be in the picture.

SEVEN MANAGERS ACTIVATE WILDCARD
This morning saw The Clangers, Golden Goal FF, Mighty Fine Feeling, Nordi by Nature, Wiz to the Top, Irn Bruno and Mrsvandeven announce their wildcards, and the average fan can look forward to seeing 9.6 new faces this weekend, with their clubs making major moves in the transfer markets as part of a "wildcard" transfer strategy. Many of those clubs are said to be battling for the signature of Ezri Konsa Ngoyo, Morgan Rogers, Cole Palmer and Thierno Barry. Andy North was the eagerest beaver, activating the wildcard as early as 9.06pm on Friday 4th September and was still tinkering by 10.38pm on Thursday 10th September. Golden Goal FF boss Thomas Hartnell took a different approach, leaving it as late as 9.32am on Friday 11th September before springing into action.

ROGERS TO MAKE IRRESISTIBLES DEBUT... AGAIN
Just one week after leaving Simply Irresistible for pastures new, Morgan Rogers appears to back in manager Richard Blackmore's thoughts - to the extent that the midfielder is expected to re-sign for the club this gameweek. "Weird business," said one supporter, "but we're happy to have him back."

Nordi by Nature manager Andy North has finally made a move for popular Riccardo Calafiori. The defender has been widely owned by rival managers, and has been averaging around 7.3 points per game recently. "Yeah I know who he is" said fan Roger Green. "I've had him in my FPL team for a while, but I've never actually seen him in real life. Let's see what he can do in a Natures shirt."
